Thirty Days of Fanart Meme: Day 9 & 10
Bundling the pairings questions...
9 – Pairings – For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favorite pairings to depict in your art?
Pairings aren't really that central for me, and I haven't even done that many pairing pieces. In DC it's probably Bruce/Dick and Dick/Roy. For HP I enjoyed the Snape/Kingsley art I did, but it's not exactly a pairing favorite, I just liked the specific story by Beth a lot, otherwise I wouldn't have done two illustrations for it. The pairings I read most all involve Harry, but so far I haven't drawn any of those.
In SGA I like the team dynamic, and Sheppard with any number of people (John/Teyla, John/Rodney, John/Ronon, John/Lorne, John/Cameron... you get the idea) but that the only specific pairing in one of my SGA pictures is John/Rodney was mostly due to that being asked for my a recipient in a fest, not because I feel more inspired by that pairing, though I read a lot of it.
10 - Pairings – Have you ever gone outside your comfort zone and made art for a pairing you liked, but found you couldn't draw/paint/..., or a pairing you didn't like, and found you could?
Not really. I'm not that hung up on pairings. So far I haven't done any art for a pairing that I dislike. The couple of times I've worked from fest prompts and such I could always find an angle that worked okay for me and with the offered prompts, so I never had to leave my comfort zone. I have a general RPF squick so I don't think I could do actor pairing art of any kind on request, certainly not explicit. I could probably work around my incest squick if pressed, at least for sibling incest, though probably not parent/child unless I was trying for an abuse-themed picture, which I don't count as "pairing". I've done some drawbles for prompts that aren't my thing, so I think I could go beyond my comfort zone in some directions but not in others.
